Q.
Hi as a teenager, i had braces (train tracks) and after i was finished i was given a retainer to secure my teeth in the correct position. I wore them at night as i was asked for a few months to a year gradually wearing them less. My teeth were straight and i felt no need to wear the retainer no more. Im 20 and about a year ago my my top 2 wisdom teeth came through. as they came through i expireinced no problem. But since then i have noticed that my top teeth on one side have become crooked only slightly and my retainer didnt fit so i couldnt correct the problem. what im worried about is the fact that to this day i still feel them moving and my teeth are now becoming way out of alignment and my bite has become a grinding bite. What do i do, i dnt really want to have braces again and am scared to ask the dentist becuase it will cost so much money which as a student i cant afford. Im just annoyed that it took along time to get my teeth straight and now with in a year they are crooked again. I was never warned of my wisdom teeth being a problem which is why i never took action or cantacted my orthodontist when they came through. Are there any other options that can correct the alignment like a slip on brace. one that is permenent of visiable,
